Encoding::EncodingName Property
.NET Framework (current version)
When overridden in a derived class, gets the human-readable description of the current encoding.
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
The EncodingName property is intended for display. To find a name that can be passed to the GetEncoding method, use the WebName property.
The following example retrieves the different names for each encoding and displays the encodings with one or more names that are different from EncodingInfo::Name. It displays EncodingName but does not compare against it.
using namespace System; using namespace System::Text; int main() { // Print the header. Console::Write( "Name " ); Console::Write( "CodePage " ); Console::Write( "BodyName " ); Console::Write( "HeaderName " ); Console::Write( "WebName " ); Console::WriteLine( "Encoding.EncodingName" ); // For every encoding, compare the name properties with EncodingInfo.Name. // Display only the encodings that have one or more different names. System::Collections::IEnumerator^ myEnum = Encoding::GetEncodings()->GetEnumerator(); while ( myEnum->MoveNext() ) { EncodingInfo ^ ei = safe_cast<EncodingInfo ^>(myEnum->Current); Encoding^ e = ei->GetEncoding(); if ( !ei->Name->Equals( e->BodyName ) || !ei->Name->Equals( e->HeaderName ) || !ei->Name->Equals( e->WebName ) ) { Console::Write( "{0,-18} ", ei->Name ); Console::Write( "{0,-9} ", e->CodePage ); Console::Write( "{0,-18} ", e->BodyName ); Console::Write( "{0,-18} ", e->HeaderName ); Console::Write( "{0,-18} ", e->WebName ); Console::WriteLine( "{0} ", e->EncodingName ); } } } /* This code produces the following output.
